Canon rf 14 35mm f 4l is usm vs tamron 11 20mm f 2 8 di iii a rxd?

Both lenses use the Canon RF mount, but they're built for different sensors.

The Canon RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM is a full-frame lens with image stabilisation. It's the one I'd pick for landscapes or interiors on a full-frame body like the Canon EOS R6 Mark II. It's lighter and cheaper than an f/2.8 zoom, and f/4 is plenty for landscapes.

The Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD is made for APS-C. It's brighter at f/2.8, which helps in low light, but it has no stabilisation. On an APS-C Canon RF body such as the Canon EOS R7, it's a strong wide zoom. On full-frame Canon bodies it only works in crop mode, so I wouldn't buy it for that.

My pick: full-frame Canon, go with the 14-35mm. APS-C Canon, go with the Tamron.
